Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Dimensions ❯ Desperation ( Chapter 10 )

Kay, sorry, but this chapter is going to be pathetically short, but I just couldn't resist leaving it off where I did!!!!

 

I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho... just Chantelle!!!

The next day, Chantelle seemed to be getting worse. Once again, she couldn't eat more than a few bites of her food, and this time, when Botan gently prodded her to try, and she DID try... the food decided to reverse course. After that incident, she couldn't seem to bring herself to smile at all, and decided to spend the rest of the day in her room and tried studying once more. Yusuke's girlfriend, Keiko, dropped in and tried to help her with her studies, but even that didn't help her. Chantelle found Keiko to be a very nice girl... and very intelligent. Even after an undoubtedly frustrating time trying to tutor her, the girl was very understanding about the situation and simply left, somehow sensing that Chantelle wanted to be left alone.

The guys dropped in later... all except for Yusuke, Kuwabara and Rinku, who had been sent on a minor mission on Earth, and wouldn't be back for a couple of days. That just made her feel a little worse because she had been hoping Rinku could share her bed with her that night (not in a perverted way, ya freaks!) She just wanted someone to hold her close... in the time that she had shared her bed with Rinku back in her dimension, she had had no problems falling asleep. Something about him just immediately put her at ease.

She sighed and tried to study those books that had been delivered to her room a few days before. But, just like before, she simply couldn't focus. After trying in vain for a few hours, she sighed and set the book she was trying to read aside and just laid down on her bed, trying to make her mind go completely blank.

It didn't work. Her mind was still completely blown away by what had happened and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't keep the images of her family and friends from haunting her. And each time an image of someone in her own world entered her mind, she couldn't stop the tears from flowing once again.

After what felt like her hundredth breakdown, she sat up on her bed, feeling like a complete wreck. Deciding that anything was better than this, she picked up her book and tried to read again. Finally, a few hours later, she gave it up as a lost cause and set it aside on her nightstand before shutting off the lights and trying to go to sleep.

She did sleep... but it was riddled with nightmares, both of the attack and of her family and friends leaving her. She tried to catch them, but with every step she took, she seemed to go slower and they just sped away from her faster. Chu had heard her crying out in her sleep as he had passed her room and quickly came in to wake her up, and held her for a few moments until she had calmed down again.

After she had assured him that she was fine and he hesitantly went on his way once more, she couldn't sleep at all. She just laid in bed for the rest of the night, tossing and turning, trying to ward off the images of her family and friends that insisted on imprinting themselves in her mind.

She looked terrible the next morning, and she didn't even bother trying to eat. Although even Toya's expression turned concerned seeing her condition, Hiei's eyes had narrowed slightly as he watched her every move with his arms crossed and his mouth set in a deep frown.

Then she simply excused herself and returned to her room, where she tried to pass the time as she had the day before. Keiko had had to return to her own world, now having a job that she could no longer shirk from, and so she spent most of that time alone.

Jin cursed loudly. “Damn it! I just can't stand to see her like this!” he said, his hands balled into fists while under the gaze of Toya and Hiei.

Toya had his arms across his chest. “I know what you mean. She looked absolutely exhausted today. And she never ate at all.”

Jin sighed. “I just wanna see that lovely smile on her face again... ta hear that cute laugh... ANYTHING is better than this! What the hell is Kurama thinking? That bloody idiot! Doesn't he know that he's hurting her more by staying away?”

Hiei grunted. “The problem is that right now she's being overwhelmed by everything that's happened. She needs to feel that someone is close to her... closer than we've been thus far. She needs to feel something good. She wants it... hell, she's craving it.”

Jin looked at him. “Are you suggesting that we seduce her or something? Don't you know that Kurama would have our heads for that?”

The fire demon shrugged. “I think, for one, that Kurama no longer has a right to complain. After all, he hasn't even looked in on her once since her arrival. And besides that, do you honestly give a shit considering her current condition? Her mental state is a complete wreck, her emotions are scattered everywhere, and her physical health will also dwindle rapidly if we don't do something drastic.”

Toya looked at him cooly. “Since when are you an expert on humans?”

He shook his head. “I'm not. But this eye of mine isn't just for decoration. She can't stop thinking about her world and the family that she left behind. She needs something to take her mind off of that.”

Jin hesitated, and then grinned. “Ah, what the hell? I've been wantin' ta be with a woman that attractive for a while now... and yer right. That Kitsune has no bloody right to say a thing, after abandonin' her like that.”

Toya blinked and shrugged, a small smirk coming to his face. “I suppose I could give it a shot... if it will make her feel better.”

Hiei smirked, and his eyes glinted slightly. “A woman as beautiful as she is deserves to be pleasured.” Neither of his companions saw the calculating look on his face.
